Played guitar for many years, one day i might even get the hang of it:-) Started out with Jazz and progressed to Blues Reggae and rock....all styles really, and i try very hard to keep an open mind...................................................... At present i am the main guitarist for "theBlox" as far as i am aware, the only Ian Dury and the Blockheads tribute band.(check out myspace.com/thebloxtribute)............... I never dreamt i would play in a tribute band (i would have been more at home playing "Darn that Dream" in a jazz outfit)....................................... It has been a huge challenge personally for me trying to re create the Blockheads music, it's not just the way it's constructed (although that is a challenge in itself) but the way that they GROOVE which is so hard to re produce, it comes from their superb musicianship and many years experience, and belive me they groove!.................. If you have never been to see the Blockheads, make it one of those "ten things to do before i die" Go check out one of their gigs http://www.theblockheads.com/.............................. I have various music projects under way at the moment and have done several recent sessions................... I collect unusual guitars (started as a hobby but is turning into something much more sinister :-)............. My current set up, My trusty Fingerbone custom built Telecaster with Seymour Duncan's (been using this for 15 years now and no matter how i try i just keep coming back to it.It was apparently a build cock up and left on the shelf till i saw some potential in it...just goes to show!) through an Orange AD30TC and or AD30R, Orange 2x12 cab, Boss pedals on pedaltrain board (i use pedals for the Blockheads songs otherwised i prefer a clean tone), Pete Cornish hand made directional leads.
